Northrop Grumman Lands $508 Million Missile Defense Support Contract

Northrop Grumman has received a $508.5 million Missile Defense Agency follow-on contract for Legacy IRBM and ICBM Flight Test Support. The company will provide flight-test support for remaining intermediate-range and intercontinental ballistic-missile target vehicles, together with integrated logistics for government-furnished equipment used in Missile Defense System testing. Awarded on a noncompetitive basis, the work is scheduled to run from September 2026 through August 2035. The long performance period sustains specialized target capabilities needed to conduct realistic evaluations of US missile-defense sensors, interceptors and command systems.
